Membership

The Tenement Museum provides our members special access to experiences, people, objects, and places that ignites their imagination and allows them to see the world through the eyes of newcomers who began their lives in America on the Lower East Side and share personal stories of their own.
Your Tenement Museum Membership will help us to realize our vision of a society that embraces and values the fundamental role of immigration in the evolving American identity.

The tax deductibility of your membership will vary.
Please see the acknowledgement you receive from the Tenement Museum for details.
